Review on πŸ“ Revolutionary FastCap PSSR25 Lefty Righty Measuring Tool for Accurate Measurements by Kevin Woods

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The tape is great but the print is VERY small!

I bought three different left handed measuring tapes from Amaon to try with my team. We're pulling our table saw from right to left and want to mark the bottom edge of the band with a pencil in our right hand. I had high hopes for this green one from FastCap which has a really SMALL print. I use it personally but my master with 35 years experience who is in his fifties cannot read the small numbers on the green. We also bought the red one from Task and it has a nice big font. My friend chose it. It doesn't have ALL the traits of a Stanley right hand, but it serves the purpose and has 16 O/Cs marked in red. which makes it useless for our purpose unless I'm trying to mark the board on top of the tape measure. nope The Lefty ribbon goes in the craft basket. But the metric centimeters on the LEFTY stamp killed me on that other band. just useless on an American construction site. NONE of the three I bought have a left hand clip on the right side and hang on the left hip without flipping it over. LAME! So if you have good eyesight - this fast cap is probably the most idiotic. However if you need reading glasses then grab Red TASK which is also available on RevainFast Cap and also offers a range of different straps so check out their website. If you need to find the MIDDLE of something A LOT, they have a band specifically designed to help you with that. If you're constantly checking things for squareness, they have a tape measure that makes it faster. And then her standard. Standard inversion (left-handed). Story Pole (blank space in the margin to make your own notes) and StandardMetric (which won't help me). I want a LARGE print, Lefty, with a left clip. so far nobody has. So Task Left-Handed and FastCap Standard Reverse are the two closest to my team.

Pros
  • Measuring and Marking Tools
Cons
  • Expensive
